Our Vision
Our students deserve a foundation for success that is built upon appropriate interactions and guided by evidence-based practices, to achieve personal goals, and success in adult life. Our students will be successful with a foundation that includes parents and community; and instructors that model appropriate social skills, utilize individualized activities, and engage students in a wide variety of learning experiences, both academically and socially.
  

A Team Approach
The Trewyn Day Treatment Program is a highly restrictive educational setting for first grade through high school. Students have no contact with their general education peers during their school day. The essential components of the program include; individual and group therapy, behavioral intervention, and social skills modeling .The program has 1 School Social Workers and a School Psychologist available to provide ongoing therapeutic services. A Children’s Home Social Worker is also housed at Trewyn Day Treatment to provide counseling to children eligible for those services, as well as SASS evaluations in crisis situations.

Students are assessed during their first week of arrival to Day Treatment to ensure proper placement at his/her instructional level. Our teachers work diligently to create lesson plans that are based on best practices. Students also receive daily social skills instruction to support our therapeutic milieu. Procedures and behavioral expectations are taught and reinforced by all faculty members.

Our therapeutic staff provides a range of services, from individual therapy and group therapy to case management and crisis intervention. Our therapeutic team also provides transition support for students returning to their home schools. Day Treatment is not a permanent placement. We want to have students with us temporarily. The transition process begins when a student has reached the orange level. Students often experience anxiety and other emotions when it is time for their return. The therapeutic team works with students every step along the way to ensure a smooth transition.
